4.02 - Service
Before beginning work:
1. Apply a thick layer of grease to all exposed moving parts.
2. Apply a film of biodegradable oil in crevices and corners in order to keep corrosive
material from rusting areas that are difficult to clean.
3. Every 8 hours check the gearbox oil level with dipstick
(see fig. 24)
. (Use SAE 90W
lubricant).
After each use:
1. Be sure to thoroughly wash the machine without using excessive pressure especially
on the moving parts. It is particularly important to wash the implement after using
salt or fertilizer. This will help prevent the caustic chemicals in the salt and fertilizer
from damaging the metal of the machine.
2. Carefully dry the machine.
3. Apply a thick layer of grease to all exposed moving parts.
4. Apply a film of biodegradable oil in crevices and corners.
5. Grease the driveline cross and bearing and shielding
(see fig. 25)
.
6. Grease the telescoping inner and outer tubes
(see fig. 25)
.
IMPORTANT: Periodically check the bronze slide (009-5190) inside the gearbox.
This is the heart of the machine and its condition will determine how the spreader
runs. When the flywheel is turned by hand, there should be no jerking movement.
